North Brisbane police are warning the public, particularly businesses with high volume sales, to be aware of counterfeit money which has been detected in the region.
Despite the large foreign text printed on them, the counterfeit notes are described as of good quality and feel compared to genuine currency.
A local Sandgate business reported one of the $50 counterfeit notes, after it had been passed onto them.
Detectives are also requesting the public to be vigilant for more of the unique notes, as more may be circulating in North Brisbane.
More information on detecting counterfeit notes can be viewed on the Reserve Bank of Australia website here.
